They’re still overcharging if their owner could make himself a billionaire out of it and you’re here defending them while you’re overpaying for games that should be much cheaper.

Games in PC began to be cheap thanks to Valve, no one offered the huge discounts like they did in the past. I pirated everything for years but I stopped thanks to valve’s prices. No one became even close to what they offered, and they have become what they are right now with good practices and good services. They could slash their cut in half and still be profitable? Probably, but they are not an NGO.

and then have to spend time figuring out which device on that circuit actually has the fault.

Usually that happens just when you plug it in so…

You don’t need a fuse with modern installations. Still, if needed, there are options that have it in the wall plug.

You think we’re still in 2010? It’s been a while since you need to unlock the bootloader first. And no, you can’t do it with the device locked.

Edit: just checked. I can completely bypass all my locked down Google Pixel settings to factory reset my phone pretty easily if I press the right keys in the right order. It would be pretty easy to steal and resell my phone.

Mind to share what “Keys in the right order” are? I mean a link, of course, because in my experience you just can’t do that with a locked bootloader.

They look promising, yes.

unemployment

Unemployment levels are at the lowest since 2008.

A5 is actually 21x14,8cm so your books seem pretty close to that aspect ratio.

Let’s check. I grabbed four random German books from my bookshelf. If you’re right, the pages should either be roughly 30cm×21cm (A4) or 15cm×10.5cm (A5).

Book 1: 18cm × 11.5; book 2: 19cm×12.5cm; book 3: 20.5cm × 12.5cm; book 4: 24cm × 17cm. None of those conform to the standard.

A5 is not 15x10,5

If A4 is 291x210 then OBVIOUSLY the next one starts with 210: 210x148.

It’s an European law, thankfully.

Your link also has no real life effect.

I get notifications of new contacts that join Telegram so it does. I don’t need to try it myself.

And I don’t understand your cc link and your down votes speak for themselves so stop the silliness.

Stop it with the creative commons link in your comments.

Also, there is nothing wrong with Telegram logins or new accounts.

But I can’t

You sure?

I don’t pay for movies or series of (I just don’t). But when I like some music (bands, producers, or even a record label) I end up buying some physical records or merchandising. If you don’t care about that, the most direct way is to go to Bandcamp and buy something on friday. People often want to put a price on their work, and not just “a dollar” like it’s your spare change, but there are several options and websites to do it.

With games I do the same but in Steam.

That’s called “the mantis movement”.
